A fresh sighting of the Tesla Cybertruck has been spotted. This time revealing the front of the latest iteration of the pre-production prototype. It was spotted by a fan of the vehicle on Facebook before being reshared on Twitter.
In the latest spotting, the Cybertruck seems a bit more compact compared to previous sighting. It is also seen to have a large windscreen wiper which is unlike anything else on the market.
Over 12 months ago, Elon Musk did comment on the large windscreen wiper stating that it will not be on the production truck, so this prototype may still not be finalised.
The new more compact design might just be due to the angle of the photo. It also had multiple LED lights in the front which are seen as it’s parked in a shaded spot.
One interesting part of the front in this picture is the new triangular mirrors which were seen last week when the Tesla Cybertruck prototype with new mirrors was spotted.
The Tesla Cybertruck has been one of the most polarising vehicles to hit the market. Many do not like the unique stainless steel body with sharp angles while over 1 million reservations are still in place according to unofficial Cybertruck order trackers. It was also originally priced from $US39,900 which is expected to be priced much higher today.
At the time of its unveiling, three variants were announced. A single-motor, dual-motor and tri-motor powertrain. A quad-motor version was later confirmed by Elon Musk.
This quad-motor version is what will be expected to be the first batch when its production begins later at Tesla’s newest Texas factory. Volume production is expected to begin next year.
We look forward to covering the updates and any further sightings that can share some insights into what the final product may look like.
